Chapter 57 – This Slime Has the Makings of a Legend!

Whoosh—

As the sixth level began, a figure slowly emerged several hundred meters away.

It was a Lancer, a common, mass-produced two-star Lancer that Mu Yuan was quite familiar with.

However, this Lancer’s spear shaft was thick and gleamed coldly, while the tip of the spear shimmered with a faint white light—a sign of energy coursing through the weapon, radiating a chilling glow.

This Lancer had already stepped into the Professional Tier, undergoing a fundamental transformation.

It was the first Professional Tier enemy he had ever faced in his life!

“Finally, an opponent with some bite.”

At this moment, as the sixth level began, Bone Four and the other Skeletons who had fallen in the previous level were fully restored, their condition at Perfection.

Two Skeleton Generals, seven Skeleton Warriors, and twenty to thirty Skeleton Soldiers stood in formation, creating a truly spectacular scene.

It was as if a pack of tigers were about to bully a lone sheep.

Yet this sheep was, in fact, a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

“Can Brother Mu handle this? How long can he hold out?”

Luo Xing pondered.

He had observed Boss Liu’s battle and understood the mechanics of this level—death was inevitable; the only difference was how long one could last.

As for Brother Mu… although he also possessed two rare three-star units, he was naturally a step below Boss Liu.

This was the conclusion Luo Xing had drawn earlier when he witnessed the Skeleton General slaying the giant scorpion.

Of course, even if Mu Yuan was inferior to Liu Miumiu, he was still a formidable figure. Not only had he reached the sixth level, but he could definitely hold out for a while, and it wasn’t impossible for him to defeat this Professional Tier Lancer.

“Such a formidable figure isn’t even on the forum’s list of top newcomers? Hah, how laughable.”

……

Thud~! Thud~!

A Professional Tier Lancer was far beyond the capabilities of a Rank 9 soldier.

His spear strikes were like a Dragon’s fury, each thrust and sweep carrying immense force. In an instant, he shattered the armor of the Skeleton Soldiers, even blasting apart their ribcages, sending fragments of armor and broken bones flying in all directions as their mangled bodies were sent crashing to the ground.

The Professional Tier was truly formidable!

Mu Yuan retreated several steps, directing his forces from a distance while cautiously observing the situation.

At that moment,

Beep~beep~!

Captain Dolai requested to join the battle~!

Inside the Mark Space, Dolai squeezed up to the exit, staring at the rampaging Lancer and letting out a gurgling cry. It had thoroughly enjoyed itself earlier in the Goblin Camp and had fallen in love with the joy of whacking “moles” with a satisfying “thump.”

But Mu Yuan rejected Dolai’s request to join the battle.

No rush.

He had discovered that aside from the rewards of Treasures, the Challenge Realm offered another hidden benefit—training.

As long as a unit possessed intelligence, its skills could be honed through practice. However, his main forces, such as the Skeleton Soldiers and Slimes, had almost zero combat experience.

They had fought very few battles in total, and life-or-death struggles against evenly matched opponents were completely nonexistent.

He simply hadn’t had the opportunity.

In battles outside, Mu Yuan always preferred to overwhelm his opponents with sheer Rank and level. An evenly matched fight? He’d rather develop further and return to settle the score later.

But in the Secret Realm, units weren’t afraid of death and could engage in fierce battles to their heart’s content. Such life-or-death struggles were the best way to temper oneself.

“Unfortunately, this Lancer isn’t strong enough to serve as a training partner for Deadbone.”

For now, he’d let Bone Two and Bone Three take this opportunity.These two skeletal brothers, the twin heroes battling the Lancer, were initially suppressed, their armor pierced through with holes. But as the fight intensified, their skill level and experience rapidly improved.

From disadvantage, they gradually reached parity, then gained the upper hand.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The sounds of metal clashing continuously rang out. A greatsword wreathed in wisps of black smoke and a silver spear enveloped in white light constantly collided and clashed, engaging in fierce combat.

Mu Yuan was very satisfied.

Jiang Luoxing was very anxious.

“Brother, your tactics are wrong! Surround him, surround him! Don’t you have other Skeleton Warriors? Quickly throw spears to disrupt that Lancer and create opportunities for your two aces! You’re running out of time!”

“Ah, too late!”

He sighed.

Suddenly, light flowed and shifted on the field, revealing two more Professional Tier Lancers.

With three formidable enemies in total, they could annihilate the two Skeleton Generals and numerous Skeleton Warriors in no time.

Sure enough, the situation grew increasingly dire. Under the assault of three Lancers, the two Skeleton Generals were soon covered in wounds. Even with other Skeleton Warriors joining the fray, they couldn’t make up for this huge disadvantage.

“Bone Two and Bone Three’s Rank is indeed still too low, and the other skeletons are even lower level.”

After all, they were only LV7, far from reaching LV9 Great Perfection.

However, Mu Yuan was already very satisfied with Bone Two and Bone Three’s performance, and it finally made him understand just how strong ordinary Professional Tier troops were.

Only moderately strong, I suppose.

Deadbone could cut them down with his sword.

Thus, he approved Dolai’s request to join the battle.

Captain Dolai has entered the stage~!

Seeing Mu Yuan summon reinforcements again, Jiang Luoxing thought the battle might still turn around. But upon closer look…

“Wait, isn’t this just a Slime?”

“Why send out an ordinary Large Slime at such a critical moment? Could he have summoned the wrong reinforcements by mistake?”

He was puzzled, but after waiting several seconds, still no new troops appeared.

So he grew even more baffled. What could a single Slime do?

In the distance, Liu Miumiu’s eyes also held three parts curiosity, three parts contemplation, and four parts confusion. Had this handsome guy given up? He didn’t seem like it, though.

Dolai’s body had a faint, starlight-like purple glow flowing across its surface, mysterious and extraordinary.

But unless viewed up close, its overall appearance was that of a Large Slime, without even a silver skin.

Boom—

Bone Two was sent flying backward. The standard-issue greatsword had cracked under the successive collisions, countless fragments scattering everywhere. Its armor was also tattered and torn.

In contrast, the Professional Tier Lancer’s weapon was an Advanced item that had reached a higher tier, showing little wear. The glow on the spear tip shimmered brilliantly, flashing with a cold gleam.

Dolai hopped and bounced forward, cute and pitiable, like a scapegoat abandoned by the worthless Lord.

The Lancer remained unaffected by the cute attack, still thrusting his spear like a dragon tearing through the air, aiming to shatter this adorable Slime with a single strike.

It was too cruel.

Even Liu Miumiu felt somewhat reluctant. The next moment, her eyes widened in shock.

The Slime’s body rapidly extended two giant arms, which instantly took on a metallic sheen.

“Clang—”

“Thud—”

The energy-infused spear was extremely sharp, still piercing through Dolai’s steel defense.

Tears welled up in its eyes, but its reaction wasn’t slow. It quickly softened the steel, turning it into a viscous form that enveloped the spear, then hardened again in that instant to lock it in place.

Leap Strike! Leap Strike!The Lancer also clung tightly to his spear shaft, but as a result, his entire body was sent flying by Dolai, soaring dozens or even hundreds of meters into the air until he became nothing but a tiny dot in everyone’s eyes.

The dot flickered with a brilliant glow.

The next moment, it descended at a speed faster than its ascent, like a meteor falling from the sky.

Taking the Lancer along with it!

Boom——!!!

The ground trembled, and the Arena floor, which perfectly simulated a real environment, cracked with countless fissures, forming a deep, massive crater.

In the crater, the dust gradually settled, revealing the chubby, adorable, seemingly harmless Slime.

Yet in the eyes of others, it appeared utterly invincible.

“Holy shit!”

Luo Xing once again blurted out the national exclamation. He had lost count of how many times he had done so today, but for this Slime, he was willing to shout it ten more times.

“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit…!”

“This Slime is cheating!”

“This isn’t an ordinary Slime.” Liu Miumiu saw through the trick. “It possesses at least two skills, and their grade is definitely not low. It’s likely some kind of mutated form. Not only that, but this Slime’s skill transitions are smooth and natural, as if it has even developed variant techniques. It, it…”

It might very well have Awakened self-awareness, with exceptional Comprehension Ability. In the future, it might even have a slim chance to tread the path of legend!

It, a Slime, with the potential of a legend!

This is simply unbelievable!

Jiang Luoxing didn’t overthink it. He just wanted to cheer for this Slime, to hail its invincibility and shout about its undefeated nature.

Inside the Arena,

Dolai waved its hand, “Gurgle~!” I, Dolai, can take on ten!
